Mr. Minguo's kitchen

At the end of winter, the cold wind outside the city is bleak, the lake is surrounded by a vast expanse of white, and there are many rime trees, reflecting the beautiful scenery in the weak sunlight.At this moment, the lake covered with a thick layer of ice was full of fishermen wearing winter coats and leather shoes.

There was a shout from a distance, and I saw hundreds of people pulling the net vigorously at one place, and a dozen oxen and horses around them pulled the winch. A fish half the size of a person came out, and the net couldn't be pulled at all.

"Fish is out!"

The fish head roared, and the cheers of the fishermen rang out completely. Everyone's face flushed with cold was full of smiles, and they picked up the scoops and started to scoop out the fish. A white fish that was bigger than the other jumped on the ice, everywhere. Silvery.

He picked and picked his head on the ice, and caught several good fish with fat heads, and the boss Wang said, "Hurry up and send the fish to Qianyuan Street. The owner of that house only wants the best and freshest fish." , but it’s a big deal, the business is worth it! If there are a few more, I will say that I respect Boss Lin.”

"Hey, I'll go right away! It's the original Donglai Restaurant on Qianyuan Street."

"That's it, clean, drive the carriage, there is a banquet over there today."

·

"Where's the fish! Is the fish here?"

The fire in the back kitchen roared and was so hot that people were sweating. In the cold weather, some people even stood by the stove in white coats, waving a large spatula in their hands.Xiaobao flipped the ingredients around and shouted loudly to the back, the face of the originally cute doll was serious.

"Here we come! The lake fresh food just delivered by Boss Wang!" The people behind responded loudly.

"Hurry up and start processing the fish! The banquet in front has already started, and the staple food in the back has to keep up! Who knows how fast the guests are cleaning the vegetables, don't be a joke if someone comes to remind you like in Xiangcheng." The younger brother listened As he said, each division of labor began to wash the fish, scrape the scales, and disembowel the fish.

"Senior brother Xiaobao, what should Aohua do?"

"This fish has few spines, and the meat is white and tender. You take away the fish skin, liver and some big spines and bring them to me for chopping. I will make meatballs."

"Brother Bream Tweed?"

"You idiots, didn't you listen to any of you when the young master said it yesterday!" Xiaobao rewarded each of them with a chestnut in turn. These are all newly recruited kitchen helpers. Let's call each other brothers.These assistant chefs are all new strengths in Fengtian branch, but it may be that the training time is not long, and Lin Weirui hasn't taught much, so overall they are not very enlightened, their brains are dead-headed, and what they have said is easy to forget.

"Steam the whole bream flower in the oven, remove the bones and fish bones, and hang the crucian carp flower in broth. Don't stand around stupidly, work quickly!"

"Senior brother, how do you think this Kanto fish grows! Good guy, this mandarin fish must weigh ten catties! How many meatballs can this make, anyway, I have never seen such a big mandarin fish." People often say Aohua.

"The winter in Kanto is longer than ours, and the fish grow under the ice. After a good winter, the meat will be fatter. It's not like the fish in the Xiangcheng River, which are caught and eaten before winter."

Everyone suddenly realized, their hands moved quickly, and they began to talk nonsense about the difference between northern fish and southern fish.

In the front hall, the host of the banquet was Zeng Baiyu, the big shopkeeper of the hotel. He took the stage to introduce the characteristics of the hotel, and after welcoming some important guests, he announced the opening of the banquet.Lin Weirui only showed his face, leaving Zeng Baiyu and a few promoted stewards to entertain the guests, and then went to the box with Ye Dashuai beside him.

"Don't drink too much." Ye Honghu lowered his head and whispered in Lin Weirui's ear under the eyes of everyone at the corner.

Lin Weirui glanced at him lightly, and Dan Feng turned her eyes back without answering, and continued to walk forward, but her eyes were self-evident.Some people can't remember what they did the next day after being drunk, but Lin Weirui belongs to the kind who remembers everything clearly, and doesn't forget anything about what he has done.So how the gangster in front of him molested him after drinking last time, he still has his account, and naturally he won't let himself make a fool of himself on this occasion.

The small gestures of the two of them were intimate, but they did not avoid others, so others could see clearly.Don't look at this small gesture, but none of the people at the banquet are human beings. The boss of Feng Laiju has completely put his name in their hearts.As soon as the banquet started, the first round of appetizers was served.

Huang Chengcheng’s steaming sticky bean buns exuded a soft milky aroma, and the Xueyi Zaosha squatting next to it was a small snack made of jujube balls wrapped in a batter made of flour and egg whites, and then fried in a hot oil pan. When it was just out of the pan, it was as soft as a flat peach, and the powdered sugar on the surface was as white as snow. These small and bright snacks attracted the attention of some ladies at the banquet, but most of them were not very impressed with the food on the table. interest.

Although this kind of banquet is famous for eating, the first protagonist is definitely not the food on the table.The guests were either chatting with the people around them for socializing, or carefully pondering their plans for the second and third exchanges with Boss Lin in the future, until a strange fragrance slowly wafted from behind, instantly attracting their hearts.

Looking back, the cart in the hand of the food passer became the focus of everyone.

The half-covered pot was walking towards them with a rumbling sound, and the strange fragrance overflowing from it was similar to that of mutton, but there was another unheard of smell that was even more sticky.

When the pot of fairy pot was put on the table in front of everyone, and when the cover on the face was lifted and the aroma spread out, the people who were talking about Kaikai just now had already stopped, and the first reaction of many guests was to pick up the pot. Chopsticks at hand.

As Lin Weirui's signature dish, this fairy pot is naturally not ordinary.Because of the absolute confidence in the quality of the wild goats in their own farm, the mutton used for this banquet was all slaughtered from the wild goats transported by the Xiangcheng train. The meat quality of wild goats is generally not as good as that of sheep, and it has less fat. Excellent game, but difficult to do well.

However, it is clear that the wild goat meat of the Lin Family Grange has been tested by old gourmets in Xiangcheng. They grew up eating pastures in the farm and drinking the water of the Fuxian River. The wild goats running on the mountain have strong limbs and bright red meat. Not at all inferior to sheep.

The whole body of a sheep is a treasure, but it is important to choose the meat for cooking, not just the tenderest parts.Because Shenxianbao is made of stewed meat, most of the goat's neck meat and lamb tendon meat are selected. The texture of the meat in these parts is not the most tender, but because of the short fibers and thin tendons, the meat is tender and uneven. , half fat and thin, chewy and tasty, and full of gelatin overflowing, people don't pay attention to wiping their mouths when eating, sometimes they can stick their mouths, very suitable for making goat stew.Then select a little bit of other parts such as lamb chops, buttocks, square meat, etc. to add, finely process, and live a whole whole lamb.

However, there are some women who pay attention to their figure in the seat, hesitant: "This mutton looks quite fat, is there a little more fat?"

Her husband sat next to him, and when he heard this, he said with a righteous face: "It is my duty to share your worries for Madam. I will help Madam solve it." There are several dishes, and the portion of each dish is not much. The lady's husband is obviously very satisfied with the taste of this fairy pot, and he is very happy to serve after tasting the sweetness.

But no one is so stupid, his wife looked at him suspiciously, glanced at him, and found that everyone around them was eating with their heads down, smelling the strong smell of mutton in the air, the lady ruthlessly pushed the fairy pot In front of my eyes, I picked up a piece of mutton belly with chopsticks and put it in my mouth, thinking that I would only taste it and not eat too much.However, she paused when she tasted it, and she was always glad that she hadn't pushed the good things out.As for staying in shape, what is that?Can I eat it?

Once the first person stops talking, the second person picks up the chopsticks, and when the last person finds that the other person is talking and talking, he starts to pick up the chopsticks to eat meat, and the whole banquet hall is full of dishes and chopsticks. The slight sound of eating soup and drinking, the human voice disappeared completely, and the food finally played its home court status.

The mutton soup is clear and milky white, full of melted gelatin, the meat is almost eaten, and the soles of the feet begin to warm up after taking another sip of the soup. Angelica, wolfberry, etc. are just ordinary medicinal materials, and the ancient medicinal herbs of Tixiu, which are unknown, have hidden merits and name, waiting for someone to discover it.
